An interesting announcement that gives me the urge to watch the original 1944 movie that is superior in every way.

I watched it yesterday. Great news to have the 'sequel' on blu ray.

 

[battlebeast]

The prequel to KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN?

 

[JPCinema]

Sadly it is not a sequel

 

[Robert Crawford]

Sadly it is not a sequel

I think most of us know that.

 

[PMF]

Please Do support Kino, as they offer more silents.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

I agree that the first Spider woman movie was superior . But i can watch Gale Sondergaard any time. She is the female Sydney Greenstreet for me. She does sinister so well. I will be picking up Spider Woman Strikes Back.

 

[Matt Hough]

I've never seen The Spider Woman Strikes Back, and I can't wait to now on this upcoming Blu-ray.

So who is who on that poster?? Of course, I'm really only interested as to who that lovely creature (who we see taking up the center of the web) is...

oh come on... everyone knows the "real" star of this picture Rondo Hatten, and Weissmuller's 2nd Jane takes a break from the jungle at RKO

Thank You Kino, great announcement keep the Universal "B"s coming

I remember seeing Gale on stage in a production of The Crucible with Charlton Heston in LA

This was for the few that don't.

This Saturday announcement is incredible. I actually yelled an expletive in delighted shock. This has never been released before on home video. This gives me hope for some other MIA Universals. Rondo Hatton, you are...avenged!

it's also got a pre Gunsmoke Doc - Millburn Stone

Wow, a Universal semi-horror picture that never had a DVD release. And best of all... Rondo!

 

[J. Casey]

My jaw is still on the floor regarding the SPIDER WOMAN announcement! Never thought I'd see a decent copy of this in a million years!

Damn, Kino keeps hitting these announcements out of the park! I am so excited with this latest announcement as one more of my "Holy Grail" titles not only makes it to home video, but in 1080p. This morning, I just Gail Russell in "Moonrise" and now I can see her again in another film noir classic.

 

[ahollis]

This has been a weekend of two great titles. Thank you Kino.

 

[borisfw]

Hell, this was such a great weekend for KL announcements. Very happy.

 

[dana martin]

Honestly between them and they're releasing partners, plus the weekend announcements, i don't think any of the other guys keep up with the amount of product that is coming from Kino and their releasing partners. A lot of it is stuff people have been waiting for, those holy Grails that you never thought would show up. Another great weekend.
